i took photos of the other 2 rgb pieces but they will look so much more interesting when installed.

in other news,
expanding my primary colours so expanding from the gallery will look a little less…..obvious.
you….didn’t think i was just going to ride this one safe, right?

today i saw beautiful losers and i feel like it was one of those art films that i was supposed to feel UGH DAMN ARTISTS LOVING WHAT THEYRE DOING IS SO OBNOXIOUS but it WASNT! as corny as it sounds, listening to these ‘diy-ers’ made SENSE. it seems that the art industry is working backwards now – that this system is something that must be immediately sought after before one even has a chance to find something to say. instead of making our own path and finding our own people, we are more or less coerced into these professional relationships and art taught the conventions without much thought to alternative. the focus on our learning is of how to get people to notice us, how to make art watered down enough to be accepted by any number of juries or councils. voiceless voided art is what will be rejected the least, according to the polls.

but who are these people? where did they come from? the dreckitudes of our society who make art because they make things that are missing in the world. the purpose for making is an act in innovation because the things they like to look at don’t quite exist yet. only after this does the filter kick in – would i show this to someone? yes or no. make it happen. it doesn’t take years to make a drawing. it shouldn’t be a horrendous effort of haggling and begging to make what you feel is real. just do it. live off apples, sell your house and sleep in your studio. what would you sacrifice to make what you want?

you are your own upper hand. every moment is a ‘make it work’ moment. if you want your work to be seen and you feel you have something to say, and hold the ability to say it with enough conviction, then you learn to make you own space to go along with it. either way you’ll be working your ass off – who do you want to take the credit?

from all of here at the industries, we would like to wish you, my dear reader, my eternal friends and lovers of the evolution, a most seasoned gratings.

be they juniper, jasmine, bergamot, cinnamon, heather, rosemary, or thyme – let them be the spiciest and sweetest times of our lives.

this year, this summer of 903 and supposed suaveness – full of hope and failure, and peppered with sighs of success, i certainly could not have done it without you. a very large and sincere thanks to all those who shared beluga with me, and HI to all those new visitors to my corner of the internet.

in other news, i haven’t been working on any projects to show, other than 8 million octobunnies and crustmas gifts for the fam [including a corn on the cob pencil case, a knit hat, waterbottle socks, a necklace, a brooch, and some drawings]

all of which must be finished up and wrapped – and soon enough i’ll be on the road to new york city! i’ll most likely post a few quick photos from the hotel, so keep your eyes as peeled as tangerines.

for anyone in the mtl area – come to studio beluga next weekend and support 10 mtl artists and their [actually really fabulous] work! i’ll be there with my octobunnies, handbound notebooks, and mandalas!
